Sign up for Limited Submissions Notifications Through UW Office of Research
Posted: 5/26/2023 (Local Events)
The UW’s Office of Research manages all limited submission opportunities, including notifying the research community about them and evaluating which submissions move forward from UW to the funder. If you’d like to be alerted to those opportunities sign up for their listserv or visit their web page: http://depts.washington.edu/research/funding/limited-submissions
Many federal agencies and foundations offer grants, awards, and fellowships that limit the number of applications that can come from one institution. To increase the chances of the UW succeeding in such limited submission opportunity applications, the Office of Research has established a procedure to review pre-proposals in a timely fashion.
Subscription to this listserv is open to all. To subscribe or unsubscribe, please email limitedsubs@uw.edu.
After the OR internal deadline, pre-proposals are reviewed by the OR LSO Review Committee. In their efforts to choose pre-proposals that are most likely to be funded and have high impact, the Committee reviews each pre-proposal based on these criteria:
- Meets all eligibility requirements specified by the funding organization RFA
- Is scientifically and technically strong
- Promotes the greater University research mission
Once the decision has been made on which pre-proposal(s) will go forward, all applicants are notified of the Committee’s decision. Occasionally, the Committee may provide feedback and recommendations to successful candidates so that that the quality of the full proposal can be enhanced. OR provides a limited submissions approval letter that must be attached to the applicant’s eGC1 for the application to be considered by OSP.
For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu or call 206-616-9089.
